Marvel: Ma'am, I'm your husband's boss

Page 223

The editor-in-chief nodded and finally signed his name.

Then he handed the paper in his hand to the reporter and said, "You are fired. Go settle your bills now and get out of my newspaper. You don't have to work as a reporter anymore. Go find a farm in the countryside and grow some crops!"

"Editor-in-Chief, why?"

"Get lost, don't make me call security."

"I'm going to sue you."

"Get out of my office."

The editor-in-chief watched the young reporter leave the room, then he opened the envelope again with a gloomy face.

In the envelope was a string of bank transfer records and several secretly photographed photos of him hugging young women. A credible editor-in-chief is absolutely not allowed to charge fees, let alone keep a mistress.

If this stuff gets out, the newspaper will be finished.

It's not just this newspaper.

In fact, the same thing was happening at virtually every newspaper in New York.

In some things, newspapers are indeed pioneers of democracy.

However, they were faced with the dark hands that could tear them apart easily, and the news of their colleagues dying one after another.

Most of those who are still alive will make the right choice.

of course there are exceptions.

For example, the Daily Bugle, which is currently very popular in New York City.

John Jonah Jameson Jr.

The head of the Daily Bugle.

Jameson has long publicly supported various fairness and equality, supported the civil rights movement, the rights of minorities and mutants, openly opposed anti-mutant policies, and is often active in front of and behind the scenes of human rights organizations.

Therefore, we face the demands from the homeless.

Jameson immediately sent out his reporters.

Of course, this includes April O'Neill, the star of the Daily Bugle.

After recovering from her injuries, April O'Neill has returned to work. Although the scars on her body cannot be erased, fortunately her face was not injured.

Plus, she's not ready to enter the television industry just yet.

Therefore, it does not affect April O'Neill's position in the Daily Bugle.

The most important thing in a newspaper is the writing style, not whether the reporter is pretty or has scars on his body.

April O'Neill's favorite news is about the strong bullying the weak, and then the weak fighting back. This will create a huge contrast, and through the provocation of words, it can stir the hearts of readers, resonate with them, and make them continue to subscribe to the next issue of the newspaper.

But this time, April O'Neill was not prepared to get involved.

Because she knew that Hell's Kitchen was Fister's territory.

She was afraid of Fisk.

More importantly, she learned from Mina what happened in Miami not long ago, which was very likely related to Fisk!

So she didn't want to get involved.

"April O'Neill, Jameson wants to see you."

My colleague came over with his head down and a sad face, apparently he had been scolded severely.

After hesitating for a moment, April O'Neill walked towards Jameson's office.

But before she could enter the room, April O'Neill heard Jameson's roar.

Through the glass window, you can clearly see James roaring at a group of editors and reporters: "I pay you wages, give you generous treatment, and make you famous, but you despise the homeless and are unwilling to fight for more benefits for them?

Everyone is timid and hesitant.

It's true that the guy is a gangster, but you are reporters, he doesn't dare to do anything to you!

You damned cowards.

I'll ask you one last time, are you willing to take this case?"

James' roar made the reporters look at each other in confusion.

But they dared not say a word, they just lowered their heads and remained silent.

No one was willing to take on this job.

Although there is competition among various newspapers in New York.

However, it is undeniable that there is more of a symbiotic relationship between newspapers.

Reporters across New York were aware of the personnel changes at other newspapers and the mayor's campaign team, which had just been formed and then disbanded.

This matter is no longer something they can get involved in.

If they encounter it, it means that there is a huge mountain blocking their way.

This mountain is covered with rugged and sharp cliffs.

Although, you can gain supreme honor after reaching the top.

But if you are not careful, you will fall to pieces and die without a burial place.

"Damn it, you bunch of cowards, get out of here!"

Jameson cursed and told them all to get out.

April O'Neill wanted to leave with them.

But James saw her through the glass.

"April, where are you going?"

April O'Neill had no choice but to walk into the office.

Jameson looked at his most proud student.

The angry expression on his face suddenly changed and became gentler: "April, how is your injury recovering?"

"It's much better now, Editor-in-Chief."

"That's good. You don't know that during the time you were away, I was almost driven crazy by these damn idiots. They are all a bunch of incompetents. The purpose of their living in this world is to waste my funds and air. If it were not prohibited by law, I really want to strangle them to death..."

Jameson took out a cigarette and stuffed it into his mouth, then began to look for a lighter: "I'll leave this job to you. I really don't know what they are afraid of.

Just a gangster from Hell's Kitchen, how dare he threaten me? I have already thought of the title of this issue - As the only newspaper in New York that dares to tell the truth, the Daily Bugle will report exclusively for you... "

April O'Neill walked out of the house with a heavy heart.

She hesitated for a moment, then finally dialed a number.

-----------------

“Thank you, Ms. Reporter, for the reminder.

Don't worry, there won't be any parades!

You can report it however you want, it doesn't matter.

I am a very democratic person, I always want people to speak, right? "

Fisk hung up the phone. After not sleeping all night, he felt a little tired.

Although given his physical condition, even if he didn't sleep for a month it wouldn't be a big problem.

But the main thing is that I feel tired.

It took nearly eighteen hours.

Fisker has completed the signing of more than three thousand contracts.

Nearly 10,000 residents were driven out and hundreds of millions of dollars were spent.

Almost all the dollars looted from Miami were used up.

Then there was a whole night of silencing and intimidation, which completely frightened the entire New York press.

Fisk killed off the campaign team assembled by the mayor.

There were five people in total, and none of them stayed.

Went to the window.

Fisk looked outside.

Although he was very tired these days, he felt it was worth it.

The entire Hell's Kitchen, a rectangular area bounded by 59th and 34th Streets from north to south, Eighth Avenue in the east and the Hudson River in the west, soon became deserted.

Now there are only less than 5% of the residents who were not negotiated with before, and those homeless people who are as dirty as cockroaches in the sewer.

Although Fisk had to resort to violence, he was able to complete the more than 3,000 contracts.

But he also paid the money and the moving expenses, which is a normal transaction in terms of law and legal principles.

So he was not afraid of the mayor's declaration of war at all.

There was no point in declaring war. He followed all legal procedures and the money was indeed paid out.

If you don't give a penny, that would be unacceptable.

But he signed the contract and paid the money.

At worst, we can just go to court and have a war of words.

Then, all those who caused trouble were killed secretly.

If it weren't for his relationship with General Ross, Fisk would have sent people to throw Mayor Russell off the Statue of Liberty long ago.

There are all kinds of people in the United States anyway. The worst that can happen is that we can find two more black people to be scapegoats.

Aren’t black people…just used as scapegoats?

After thinking for a while, Fisk thought of another question.
